Art Hotels

Hotels where the building itself is part of the reason people came.

On a wet day the collections, halls and glazed rooms take over from the street, and the parts that sit outdoors — terraces, roofs, embankments — are the first to be handed back. Each entry follows the day from the door inward.

Art Hotels · Florence, Italy

Hotel Lungarno

Florence in the rain sends everyone off the embankment, and this hotel sits directly on it.

Art Hotels · Lisbon, Portugal

Bairro Alto Hotel

The rooms people come up for sit above the roofline, so weather decides how much is open.

Art Hotels · Helsinki, Finland

Hotel Torni

The day moves up and down rather than out, because the hotel is a tower and always was.

Art Hotels · San Antonio, Texas, United States

Hotel Emma

The building was raised for beer rather than for guests, and it holds its own temperature.

Art Hotels · Bangkok, Thailand

The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon

In the rain season the tower stops being a viewpoint and starts being a shelter.

Art Hotels · New York, United States

Nine Orchard

It occupies a bank building restored down to the marble, with a vaulted hall behind the entrance.

Notes on this collection

This is an independent reference. Everything here was assembled from public sources, and public sources age; which parts of a house are working on a given day rests with the hotel and with the conditions of that day. Future Social Network is connected to none of these hotels, sells nothing and books nothing.
